Don't Flush "Flushable" Wipes

Many personal hygiene wipes and cleaning products are marketed as being flushable, yet these products cause significant damage to the County’s collection system and cost homeowners hundreds of dollars in plumbing repairs. Consumer Reports put together a video to show how toilet paper breaks down readily, in comparison to flushable wipes.

To prevent these problems from happening to you, avoid flushing rags, wipes, feminine hygiene products, and other fibrous materials down the toilet. Please dispose of these items in the trash.
